marshy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29438653 Found this story hilarious. Farage yet again trying to "stick it to the establishment" and "career politicians" and then I see Mr Arron Banks is now on board! I don't want to get OTIB into trouble but let's just say Mr Banks is hardly whiter than white and his reputation locally is dire. If you are going to cast aspersions you really should provide some evidence to back this up. In what way is he 'hardly whiter than white'? You would have thought that Hague would have known better than attempt to belittle someone in this way. Cameron tried the 'swivel eyed loon' tactic against UKIP and look how spectacularly that backfired. If EU lovers Cameron and Hague had offered the referendum back in 2010 the 'IN' vote would surely have carried the day. Instead they made fun of their opponents and have given Farage and his party a breathing space of four years to build support. ''First they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then we win''....M.Ghandi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get hammered in the election by Lib Dem Steve Webb anyway. I reassert, Farage claims his party are different but he's wrong. UKIP are just the same old...

Cassetteboy is superb and his targets are not just political. I direct you to the Big Brother cut-ups on his album Inside A Whale's Cock and his golf parodies on the follow-up, Mick's Tape.

Crikey that's putting it lightly. Having had the - ahem - pleasure of working for one of Mr Banks' companies for several years until not so long ago, that's the understatement of the year. Bloke's a complete and utter knobhead and gobshite of the highest, highest order.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Clause 4 was abandoned a long time ago, Es, in case you hadn't noticed... Yes and replaced with 'The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. It believes that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few, where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe, and where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect'. The new clause did, for the first time, declare Labour to be a "socialist" party. i've underlined the socialist reference RR, it's like the scene in the Life Of Brian where the PFJ were formulating their constitution, I can imagine as Blair was re-reading every sentence so far agreed, Harriet and Mandy shouting "and women" and Gordon mumbling under his breath "women my arse, not when i'm ******* well in charge".

No I expect the entire Labour Party, Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner, all those guys, became Thatcherite.... Still, should you return from your French exile, you now have a choice of Thatcher admirers to vote for. There's George "I'm cutting tax at some unspecified future date" Cameron or Nigel "he's so ordinary he lives in a three-bed semi and owns a caravan" Farage.

An all-party consensus on the action and one, in my opinion, that is totally wrong-headed. btw does your post imply that Miliband like Cameron or Farage admires Thatcher? Or did you just mention him because as ever you cannot stand any perceived criticism of your beloved Conservatives without "countering" it with a complete non sequitur about Labour. Often, as above, deploying Daily Mail stereotypes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Whenever any post mentions anything about the Conservative Party, which is quite likely in a thread such as this which has moved to talking about the Tory Conference, you constantly interject with.. "Yes but Labour...." Look back through any politics thread on here and you'll find you do it every time. Despite professing to "hate all of them" you never do this about the Conservatives, so I think I make a fairly reasonable assumption about your politics. Much of the stuff about Labour is couched in exactly the same language the Mail and Sun would use. Now you may not read or be influenced by right-wing tabloids, but I do caution anyone to see through their smears. You seem to have taken the hump at my pulling you up on this tendency to go off topic by constantly bringing up Labour when they were not being discussed, so I suggest we end this here rather than get into a futile circular discussion. No offence has been intended I assure you. No offence taken ever, but you have certainly passed the DM interview board, I hate labour ergo I am a tory. and you are far too precious over Ed an yer actual labour party, no offence intended I assure you. PS:- in the interests of fairness, yeah right like Dave and Sam actually ate the burgers that he bought during his name dropping photo opportunity, there you go.

I can't see why eating burgers would make anyone want to vote for anyone? What constituency for you think they were trying to appeal to? McDonalds employees?? P's: it's the fact that you always seem to leap to the Tories defence on these thread's that lead me to make that assumption. Plus the fact that if anyone "hates" the Labour Party under our first past the post system the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
